Allegheny an State of Pennsylvanie, have invented certain new endusefui rn'prove ments in' Centrifugal Driers2 of which the eiiowing is e specificaiion. y

This* invention reietes o, centriiugei driers and moreparticuiarivto .theibaskets fer seid driexs' and has for one of its obgieets the provision of an improved' basket consti-notion having a removable screen 15 basket ont of its operating position.

Heretofore when it Was desireci to replace -f ne screen in centrifugal drier besleis, it rms neeessary to dismantle the drier and re- 30 nieve end disinentie the basket, while with elle' present censtruction the screenr een be replaced without removing hebasket. 'from its operating posiion, thus reducing the im bei of such en operation eighty per cent.
